Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Aircraft will not respond
to throttle but responds to
other controls
Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high
Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim
at lowest setting
Throttle servo travel is lower than 100%
Make sure throttle servo travel is 100% or greater
Throttle channel is reversed
Reverse throttle channel on transmitter
Extra propeller noise or
extra vibration
Damaged propeller and spinner, collet or motor
Replace damaged parts
Propeller is out of balance
Balance or replace propeller
Reduced fl ight time or
aircraft underpowered
Flight battery charge is low
Completely recharge fl ight battery
Propeller installed backwards
Install propeller with numbers facing forward
Flight battery damaged
Replace fl ight battery and follow fl ight battery instructions
Flight conditions may be too cold
Make sure battery is warm before use
Aircraft will not Bind (dur-
ing binding) to transmitter
Transmitter too near aircraft during binding process
Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft,
disconnect and reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal object
Move the aircraft or transmitter away from the large metal
object
The bind plug is not installed correctly in the bind port or bind port
extension
Install bind plug in bind port or bind port extension and bind
the aircraft to the transmitter
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too low
Replace/recharge batteries
Aircraft will not link (after
binding) to transmitter
Transmitter too near aircraft during linking process
Move powered transmitter a few feet from aircraft,
disconnect and reconnect fl ight battery to aircraft
Aircraft or transmitter is too close to large metal object
Move the aircraft or transmitter away from the large metal
object
Bind plug left installed in bind port or bind port extension
Rebind transmitter to the aircraft and remove the bind plug
before cycling power
Aircraft bound to different model memory (ModelMatch
TM
radios only)
Select correct model memory on transmitter
Flight battery/Transmitter battery charge is too low
Replace/recharge batteries
Transmitter may have been bound using different DSM protocol
Bind aircraft to transmitter
Control surface does not
move
Control surface, control horn, linkage or servo damage
Replace or repair damaged parts and adjust controls
Wire damaged or connections loose
Do a check of wires and connections, connect
or replace as needed
Transmitter is not bound correctly or the incorrect model
was selected
Re-bind or select correct model in transmitter
BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit) of the ESC is damaged
Replace ESC
Controls reversed
Transmitter settings are reversed
Perform the Control Direction Test and adjust the controls
on transmitter appropriately
Motor power pulses then
motor loses power
ESC uses default soft Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Recharge fl ight battery or replace battery
that is no longer performing
Weather conditions might be too cold
Postpone flight until weather is warmer
Battery is old, worn out, or damaged
Replace battery
Battery C rating might be too small
Use recommended battery
